Highlands-Sea Bright Bridge

The Highlands-Sea Bright Bridge is a bridge in the US state of New Jersey that connects Highlands with Sea Bright across the Shrewsbury River. The first bridge, a wooden bridge, existed from 1872 to 1875, and a wood and steel swing bridge existed from 1878 to 1949, although it was closed to traffic in 1933, when a 1,240-foot bascule drawbridge was opened. The drawbridge served the area for decades, and it was replaced by a fixed-span bridge between 2008 and 2011. The current bridge opened on 1 May 2011.
